Temporary exhibition: "Treasures from the collections: exceptional fossilisations".

From 8 April 2023 to 7 January 2024

Fossilisation is a highly selective phenomenon. Of all the living things that have ever lived on Earth, very few have reached us in the form of fossils. The nature of their morphology, their composition and the environment in which the organism lived are determining factors in their eventual preservation.

This exhibition sets out to explain the methods used in exceptional fossilisations and shows a diversity of remarkable and aesthetic fossils, such as the conservation of soft parts, the sometimes three-dimensional fossilisation, the conservation of colour pigments, etc.

exhibition "le grand bestiaire d'andré hambourg" - deauville exhibition

Exhibition: "André Hambourg's great bestiary

from 8 July to 31 December

The artist has depicted animals on countless occasions, and these are unveiled in a journey featuring an improbable bestiary! Cats, geese and goats populate her canvases. His travels enrich this bestiary with zebus from the Ivory Coast, horses from Central Park and seagulls from the Honfleur basin. While some animals are the main subject of the work, others the painter plays at hiding. Here a hen lies in the shade of a leaf, and there a small dog hides behind its master's legs. The artist's works are displayed alongside those of other painters and draughtsmen, from the Franciscan collections and on loan from other artists.

Exhibition: "Soulages, discovering engraved work
